It is said to be a quarrel, but it is not a quarrel.
Because there is a prerequisite for the word quarrel, it will only happen when the strengths of the two parties involved are almost the same.
For example, the Tang Dynasty royal family and aristocratic families in the past could quarrel with each other, and both sides had the ability to overturn the table. As long as they were unhappy, they could stare at them and go crazy. It was precisely because both of them knew that the other party had the ability to overturn the table, so they had to take care of the other party's ability to overturn the table, so they would fight with words, which was a kind of quarrel.
For example, when the countryside is adjacent, two families live a house through a courtyard wall, and no one is better than the other. The strength is basically the same. Once the two families have a gap, they will also quarrel with each other. The more they quarrel, the more fierce the quarrel, the more they quarrel, the more they feel, the more angry they feel. Even the whole village can't persuade them to fight. If the development continues, it may turn into a fight between the two families.
But if one family was asked to face the richest family in the village, the family would have to stop being together. Not to mention that they had developed to the point of fighting, they would probably not even have the courage to quarrel at the beginning.
Why?
Therefore, they do not match each other's strengths.
The premise of quarrel must be at least equal. Otherwise, if you ask a teenager to quarrel with a thirty-year-old man, you may be so fucked and crying.
So Li Yun’s seventh apprentice family is not arguing with others at all, and can be described as “bullied”.
This family is too tragic. They are basically at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty. Men are obviously full of talent, but their future is damaged by the aristocratic family. Women adhere to traditional virtues, but unfortunately, they are weak for many years due to tuberculosis. The little girl Hong'er is filial and sensible, and she is so hungry that she is pale and thin.
Despite this, this family still sticks to their duty. Even if the child is filial to catch night birds, he will be scolded and taught by his father after he catches them.
Know the truth and understand the truth and be cautious. The hardships of life have smoothed out the edges of this family. They have no mind and dare not have the mind to quarrel with others.
Unfortunately, people are bullied by good people.
This family lives cautiously and keeps their duties honestly. They dare not provoke others, but they do not hinder others from oppressing them.
That's what happened just now...
At that time, it was Li Yun and Qi Yanran who said goodbye. The middle-aged man was confused at the reminder of his wife, while the little girl Hong'er happily held the dead bird and sat happily on the side of the road to remove her feathers.
Although the little girl was not old, her poverty since childhood made her stand up early. Her hands were very light and neat. After a while, she cleaned the bird's feathers, and then ran happily into the mountains and forests, and found a spring to clean the big bird.
After returning, the little guy did not beg for his father for help, but picked up some firewood with neat steps and then got angry next to the road and made a small fire.
All this work was done by her alone, while the middle-aged man was taking care of his wife. The couple was very relieved about their daughter's work, and the little girl's obedience was also highlighted from the side.
The fire was booming, and the big birds were gradually roasting yellow. Soon a fragrance spread out, and the grease dripped on the fire, "Zlazla" sounded softly.
The little girl was obviously very envious and occasionally slid her head to smell the fragrance. She would occasionally try to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and her face was full of joy.
Finally, the birds are roasted!
The little girl carefully pulled out the roasted bird stick, then held it in the air and waved it vigorously. She wanted to use this method to make the bird meat cool quickly, and then give it to her weak and sick mother for food.
However, at this moment, a sound of a carriage and horse came from a distance, and then someone seemed to be shocked, as if he was twitching his nose and smelling the fragrance.
Soon, several carriages appeared and slowly galloped along the road. The carriages were loaded with many sacks, and the carriages were showing their might and escorting a group of strong men.
The leading people were wearing brocades, with a young man in the middle, and beside him was a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe.
The one who made the shocking sound just now was this middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe.
But seeing him constantly smelling in the air with his nose, he quickly found the source of the fragrance. At this time, Hong'er was holding the roasted big bird and giggling, and the little guy wanted to give the bird meat to his mother for food.
Unfortunately, before she could run to her mother, she was suddenly blocked by someone in front of her. It turned out that a carriage guard observed his words and expressions and found that his leader was very interested in the little girl's roasted birds. There was no shortage of people who were tempted by the flames in the world. The guards quickly blocked Hong'er's way.
Because Hong'er ran too fast, she didn't check to hit the guard for a while. Where could she hit the guard in her small body hit her guard and she fell to the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The carriage laughed loudly, as if it was very interesting to see the child fall.
The guard who blocked the road was very proud and looked at his leader with a flattering face. Sure enough, the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes nodded lightly, as if he expressed his approval of his behavior.
The guard's face was even more pleasing.
Unfortunately, the middle-aged man no longer looked at him. Instead, he pointed to Hong'er who fell to the ground and turned to the young man and said, "The second young master is indeed a man of blessing. Some people even offer delicious food in the wilderness. Although this bird is inferior in baking, it is better to have a little game in the mountains. It just so happened that the second young master just said he was a little hungry. It would be better to take this game for a while and eat it."
This sentence was underestimated. Before speaking, he did not ask Hong'er if she was willing or not. It seemed that everything was right and his tone seemed very certain.
The young man looked light and nodded, "Then try it."
After saying this, the guard who blocked the road immediately stretched out his big hand. Poor Hong'er fell to the ground and had not yet gotten up. The roasted big bird had been taken away.
After the guard took the big bird, he ran to the young man with a hurry, then bowed and collapsed his waist and looked flattering, and whispered: "Young Master, the heat of this roasted bird meat is just right."
The young man glanced at him, nodded lightly and said, "Zheng Si, you are very good."
The guards were immediately filled with surprise.
The middle-aged man in the gorgeous clothes next to him heard the young master praise the guard and said lightly: "Zheng Si is a son from his family. You can be more courageous in the future. After the second master builds a house and falls into the mansion, how about I transfer him to the mansion of the second master?"
The young man did not comment and reached out to take the roasted toss in his hand. He slowly tore off a piece of bird meat and put it on it and chewed it gently. Then he said lightly: "I don't want to build a house for the time being. I want to stay in the clan to fight with them..."
This was said without any brainstorm, but the middle-aged man in the China-dressed uniform lit up and he hurriedly said, "Second Young Master, you are also a legitimate son, and you have been loved by the old patriarch since childhood. If the second young master really has ambitions, this matter would be 80% possible."
The young man nodded arrogantly and said, "This is also the reason why I worked hard to ask for an errand. Otherwise, who would have been willing to travel thousands of miles to deliver food..."
He didn't say the rest, but the middle-aged man in China added him: "It's fine to escort food, but he still has to continue to give alms to the poor along the way. When have we, the rich families of our five surnames and seven generations, ever done such a thing of self-destruction? Humph, if the situation was not better than others, I really wanted to persuade the clans to stop this. Our Xingyang Zheng family, gave four million stones of grain to people in vain!"
He snorted again as he said that, with an extremely dissatisfied expression on his face.
On the contrary, although the young man was arrogant, he shook his head slowly and said, "You just said that the form is stronger than that of people. Since you are weak, you have to recognize that things in the world are high and low. Even if a wealthy family has a low life, there are only four million stones of food. What's wrong with sending them all out? As long as you can continue to maintain the ranks of the clan, you will always get the lost things back."
The middle-aged man in China quickly gave a thumbs up and praised him urgently: "It is indeed worthy of being a legitimate child. The second young master speaks generously."
The young man looked at him with a smile and suddenly said with a hint of point: "You are also from the Zheng family. You are my uncle in your seniority. You must not do this in the future, so as not to be despised."
The middle-aged man in China was a little embarrassed, and he said with a look around and said, "I came from the Zheng branch, and it was an extremely remote branch. I am not the one who is loyal to the past few years. I don't have my seat in my family. I just said sincerely, not deliberately flattering the young master."
The young man's mouth curled, and there was a hint of disdain. He no longer insisted on the middle-aged man in China. He suddenly turned to look at the guard and said, "If you take other people's game, you must give some compensation. You can unload a sack of food and give it to this little girl who roasted birds."
The guard was stunned and subconsciously said, "A bag of food?" and then asked in a low voice: "Old grain or new grain, coarse grain or fine grain?"
The young man tore off another piece of bird meat and put it in his mouth. He slowly began to chew it gently without any answer or any hint.
Seeing this, the guard immediately realized that he shouldn't have asked more questions just now. Sweat beads suddenly appeared on the guy's face, and he ran to the carriage to unload the food.
He specially picked for a long time, and finally chose a slightly old sack, then carried it back in person, and threw it to the side of the road with a thud.
At this time, Hong'er had already gotten up from the ground. The little girl was taken away by someone and didn't dare to resist at all. She was afraid that her resistance would cause trouble for the family, so she could only retreat carefully to her parents.
The middle-aged man and his wife were also nervous, and the couple whispered to protect their daughter.
It was obvious that someone else had taken their things, but they looked restrained and nervous, fearing that they would cause trouble, so they swallowed their anger and endured it.
This is because of the long-term miserable life, and he no longer dares to have any idea of fighting for self-esteem. Perhaps the middle-aged man used to be a person who dared to fight for it, but now he has to take into account his sick wife and weak daughter.
A man’s choice to show weakness is a kind of sadness. Maybe he is not weak at first, but he has to work hard to make himself weak for his wife and children.
Because he dared not fight, because the result of the fight was likely to harm his wife and children.
This is the saddest helplessness of a man, but it is the greatest choice for a husband and father.
But the guard was carrying the grain and throwing it directly on the ground, then looked down at the family, and suddenly snorted heavily, and said loudly: "Look clearly, this is food. My young master is from the Zheng family in Xingyang. He worked hard and traveled thousands of miles to escort the grain, giving the poor, and saving the suffering. According to regulations, your family could only receive five kilograms of food. If you want to collect it again, you can only wait until three days later. But the young master was kind-hearted and gave you a bag of food. Although the bird roasted by your little girl is good, it is not as good as the food of my young master. Remember, this food was given by the young master, and the roasted bird was provided by you. We have no transactions, and you don't deserve to trade. Do you understand?"
He is worthy of being a wealthy slave, and his words are completely clear. He said it out loudly, clearly because he had the intention of pleasing his son. Unfortunately, the young master said softly, as if he felt that the guard was a little troublesome.
The guard suddenly became nervous and felt that he had made another mistake. He did not dare to complain about his son, but he threw his anger on Hong'er's family. Suddenly, he glared at the family with vicious eyes, possessed himself and lowered his voice: "When the work is over in the evening, I want your family to look good..."
Hong'er's little face turned pale and she subconsciously protected her mother. The middle-aged man's eyes became angry and finally raised his head at this moment.
He had always been cautious and even dared not speak when his daughter's roasted bird was taken away. However, after hearing the threat from the guard, the man raised his head and raised his waist.
He did not say anything powerful to the guards, but said with grief and anger: "We will follow His Majesty's convoy, will you commit an assault under the emperor's eyes?"
This is a kind of struggle for the weak, and he wanted to use Li Shimin's reputation to shock the guards in front of him.
But the guard immediately sneered and said with disdain: "There are no 100,000 people who have traveled, but there are eighty thousand. How can the emperor know what you are?"
This was obviously without any scruples and decided to bully Hong'er's family.
The middle-aged man's face became even more sad and angry. He reached out to protect his wife and children behind him. He stared at the middle-aged guard with his eyes tightly, and finally spoke the words a man should have, saying: "If you dare to come tonight, I will fight with you. Those who oppress my wife and daughter will bite you a piece of meat even if I die."
"Is that so? Then I'll kill you directly!" The guard still possessed himself and whispered, as if he was afraid that his son would hear it.
In fact, although he possessed himself and whispered, the hideousness on his face could not escape others. The young man and the middle-aged man in the clothing over there saw it, but unfortunately, neither the young man nor the middle-aged man in the clothing over there did not stop drinking.
In the eyes of a wealthy family, the people are definitely not as good as a dog in their own family.
But after the escort threatened, he finally prepared to return to the carriage, while Hong'er's family had a sad face, and the middle-aged man clenched his hands into fists.
But he quickly relaxed his fist again and sighed sadly. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the bag of food, turned his head and put it on a relaxed and happy look, and said to his wife: "With this bag of food, we don't have to worry about being hungry..."
As he said that, he looked at Hong'er again and said softly: "Girl, you must protect your mother and guard this bag of food. Every morning and night, remember to cook for your mother to eat."
Although he deliberately pretended to be relaxed, his words still revealed his plans. These words clearly mean parting. Obviously, he made up his mind to fight the guards tonight.
Unfortunately, although Hong'er is smart, she cannot hear the abnormality in her father's words due to her age. Although Hong'er's mother hears the abnormality, she is afraid that she will make her daughter worried after she says it.
The couple could only look at each other quietly, with deep reluctance and sadness flashing in their eyes.
If a person lives too low, he will even feel helpless even when he resists.
Unfortunately, the family encountered this, and the world still refused to let them go. Just as Hong'er's father was reluctant to leave, he suddenly heard someone on the other side 'huh' sound.
To be continued...
